iConnectivity has announced its iConnectMIDI1 and iConnectMIDI2+ MIDI interfaces.
iConnectMIDI1 is a 1 in 1 out USB or iOS 16 channel MIDI interface to connect a MIDI compatible controller, keyboard, synthesizer, or drum machine to a Mac, PC, or iOS computing device. iConnectMIDI1 is bus powered and is plug and play compatible with Windows and Mac computers as well as iOS devices.
iConnectMIDI1 features
- 1 In & 1 Out Set of MIDI DIN Ports.
- PC and Mac MIDI Connectivity.
- iOS MIDI Connectivity.
- USB MIDI Class Compliant.
- USB Bus Powered.
- Supports 16 Channels of MIDI I/O.
- Plug and Play – No Drivers Needed.
iConnectMIDI2+ is a 2×2,10 port multi-host MIDI interface that features iConnectivity’s unique multi-hosting and audio pass-through technology.
Being a multi-host interface, iConnectMIDI2+ allows for up to 2 computing devices to share the same interface as well as access and share MIDI resources over its 2 pairs of MIDI DINs and its 8 additional user configurable ports. This enables workflow such as, sending midi from a controller or synthesizer to DAW and an iOS device simultaneously, setting up redundancy in a live MIDI environment, sending MIDI from multiple computing devices to one another, and more.
As a part of its multi-hosting capabilities iConnectMIDI2+ also features audio pass-through. This technology enables 2 computing devices (Mac, PC, iOS) to not only pass MIDI data but also act as an audio interface between them, seamlessly bridging each computing device into each other’s audio and MIDI environments.
In addition to its expanded connectivity iConnectMIDI2+ includes iConnectivity’s Port Manager software for Mac, PC, and iOS allows the user complete control over how MIDI is routed, remapped and filtered to and from all devices connected to it.
